Pulimurugan beats Sultan, Rustom and MS Dhoni : The Untold Story
Superstar Mohanlal’s blockbuster film, Pulimurugan continues to do phenomenal business at the Box Office. The action packed entertainer was released during the Pooja holidays on October 7. The movie is still running more than 100 centers in Kerala theatres.
Ever since the release, the movie has been busy breaking pre existing records and creating new ones. It became the first Malayalam movie to enter the 100 crore club.
The movie is not only doing well in the Kerala Box office, it is creating waves in other centres also. Recently the movie completed it’s 11th successful week in Mumbai.
It is a phenomenal achievement considering that some of the Bollywood blockbusters released this year like Salman Khan starrer Sultan, Akshay Kumar’s Rustom and Sushant Singh Rajput’s MS Dhoni :The Untold Story struggled to run past 50-theatrical days in Mumbai.
With this astounding achievement Pulimurugan is now one of the highest running movies of 2016 in Mumbai along with Marathi films Katyar Ghusal, Natsamrat and Sairat.
Mohanlal’s other blockbuster Oppam released for Onam this year also had a tremendous run in Mumbai.
Pulimurugan is written by Udhayakrishna and directed by Vysakh. The movie told the story about a village which is frequently attacked by man eating tigers and how a wild hunter Murugan comes to their rescue.
Mohanlal played the title role while Kamalini Mukherjee played his lead pair. Other cast members include Tollywood actor Jagpathi Babu, Lal, Vinu Mohan, Siddique, Namitha, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Kishore, Bala, Makarand Deshpande, Nandu, Gopakumar etc.
The movie also shattered many box office records in the overseas centres as well. Pulimurugan became the highest grossing South Indian movie in UAE by beating the previous records set by SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning and Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kabali.
Pulimurugan is also the all-time highest grossing Malayalam movie in other overseas centres like UK, USA and New Zealand .
Telugu version of the movie titled as Manyam Puli was released recently. The movie has already been labelled as a superhit by the Telugu medias after raking in crores from the initial few days itself.
